Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander placed in concussion protocol on Thursday
Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been placed in concussion protocol.
What It Means:
Gilgeous-Alexander is being evaluated for a concussion after two fouls during Wednesday's loss against the Houston Rockets. Expect Luguentz Dort to play an increased offensive role if Gilgeous-Alexander is ruled out against a Memphis Grizzlies' unit ranked last in defensive rating.
Per Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 128.3 minutes with Gilgeous-Alexander off the floor this season, Dort is averaging 0.75 FanDuel points and 0.51 field goal attempts per minute.
